JACKSON, Mich.—The entrapment hearing for three former Wolverine Watchmen facing state charges in connection with an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer began Feb. 23, in what could be a preview of the upcoming federal trial for the alleged plot’s ringleaders.

Joseph Morrison, Pete Musico, and Paul Bellar have been charged under Michigan law with providing material support to a terrorist plot. Their case is separate from the federal charges against accused plot ringleaders Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta.
